The National Electronic Media Council (Latvian: Nacionālā elektronisko plašsaziņas līdzekļu padome; NEPLP) is an independent institution in the Republic of Latvia, charged with developing, supporting and monitoring the electronic media sector in Latvia.[1][2][3][4][5]

Until August 4, 2021, the NEPLP performed the functions of the meeting of the state capital shareholders and members of the public broadcasting organizations Latvia Televīzija and Latvijas Radio.[6][7] Following Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, Latvia took significant steps to block Russian media outlets.
